       Eclipse 2024 - Views from the Erie Canal along the Seneca River

       Eclipse 2024 is over, sadly the Seneca-Erie Canal view was
       shrouded by some fairly thick cloud cover, that at most let only
       a few glimpses of the actual event, and those were worth the
       wait. Here's what it looked liked near Howland Island.

       Finally the clouds cleared enough to see the Sun & Moon

       The shadow of the Moon, passing over the Seneca River was
       amazing. Upstream was in a sunset mode while the other side of
       the shadow gave a second sunrise that day looking downstream. At
       one point it was very dark, not enough light to even take a
       group photo, without a flash. Eerie, yet amazing at the same
       time.

       The best memory that day was about halfway through the eclipse,
       when for about a minute or so the clouds thinned enough to
       capture this image

       The Gods decided Fairport didn't deserve to see the actual
       eclipse. I guess its payment for having so many dorks living in
       the area. (Joke!)
       Never the less, the event was spectacular. I was particularly
       pleased to see all the birds rushing around chirping. They
       obviously knew something was up!
